AASCFriend

Whilst our development costs were covered by sponsorship, financial input from the Friends will secure a sound footing. Also, we apply for grants but there is generally a requirement for the charity to demonstrate that it has the finances to contribute to a project. The creation of the 'AASCFriends Fund' is therefore crucial to enable us to provide ongoing support. We cordially invite you to become a 'Friend of AASC' by supporting this fund.

Why they need our service

Friends of AASC (AASCFriends) was set up in 2017 to ensure the charity has a sound financial basis for the future. In particular, funds are used for basic costs including our helpline, group meetings and special events. With an increase in the number of people using the charity and reaching out to the many living with a diagnosis of asbestos related illnesses our expenditure has been exceeding our income.

Plan and expected results

We are currently reaching out to over 50 people a month either face to face to face , on the telephone or through our social media links. By becoming a Friend you can help secure this support and help us reach out to more patients and carers.
